Call on Your ERP to Prevent and Manage Recalls

God forbid you need to recall product, but if you do, Wayne Labs at Food Engineering offers advice for narrowing in on defective items using single-system ERP software.

Labs recommends choosing an industry-specific ERP system to encompass traceability, FSMA, and business process integration.

Linking a warehouse management system (WMS) to your ERP can also help identify anomalies and prevent cross-contamination early on. Don’t rely on the integrity of packaging alone. Train employees to detect everything from packing issues to allergens.

Thorough quality control measures will also help you manage a recall. The GPS and proof-of-delivery applications that you use every day are also important when you need to determine exactly where and when recalled items were sent.
